FIG. 5 showing an exploded perspective view of a conventional faucet with a soap dispenser accompanied byFIG. 6 ). A conventional faucet with a soap dispenser includes afaucet body 70 having an elongatedround seat body 71 extending at one side wherein theseat body 71 has abore 711 drilled there-through, and thebore 711 has the interior defined byinternal screw threads 712 to which a cleaningliquid dispenser 80 is locked to provide a faucet structure with a soap dispenser thereby. The cleaningliquid dispenser 80 is made up of apush head 801, acap 802, astraw 803, an axle sleeve 804, aplug 805, aflexibly rebound element 806, aball 807, atube seat 81,bent coupling tubes 82, ahose 83, and a cleaningliquid reservoir 84. - There are some drawbacks to such conventional faucet structure. First of all, the cleaning
liquid dispenser 80 is exposed to fix outside thefaucet body 70. And thepress head 801 is simply secured at one end and the other end thereof must be joined to thebent coupling tubes 82 and thehose 83 so as to connect to the cleaningliquid reservoir 84 thereby. In assembly, depending on the location of the cleaningliquid reservoir 84, thehose 83 must be preset for a certain length to be guided and installed onto the cleaningliquid reservoir 84. As a result, thehose 83 can easily get hooked or wound up and hinder the smooth emission of the cleaning liquid thereof. In other cases, thepush head 801 must be pressed long and hard before the cleaning liquid is squeezed outwards for application. Furthermore, if the cleaning liquid is not used regularly and kept to stay a long time in thebent coupling tubes 82 and thehose 83, moisture in the atmosphere can easily get through the tiny chinks disposed at the conjoining sections of the multiple tubing thereof to humidify and deteriorate the cleaning liquid contained therein. Thus, the deteriorated cleaning liquid can easily breed bacteria therein, which is quite inconvenient and unhygienic in application. Second, the elongatedround seat body 71 with thebore 711 defining thereon is provided extending at one side of thefaucet body 70 for the fixing of the cleaningliquid dispenser 80 thereto, which inevitably increase the volume of thefaucet body 70 as well as the cost of production thereof. Besides, thebore 711 drilled onto theseat body 71 is provided simply for the accommodation of the push elements of the cleaningliquid dispenser 80; thebent coupling tubes 82 and thehose 83 are also required to match to the cleaningliquid reservoir 84. Thus, the conventional faucet with a soap dispenser is complicated in structure and time-consuming in assembly. In addition, it also occupies a lot of space, which makes it look rather awkward in appearance. - It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide a soap-dispensing faucet structure, comprising an upright cylindrical faucet body having an upper section defined by an appropriate-depth receiving chamber to which a sleeve cover and a pump device are joined to form an individual soap-receiving accommodation space that is separated from another individual faucet water-discharging space disposed at the lower section of the faucet body, combining the upper and lower spaces into one integral unit wherein the soap-receiving accommodation space forms a depth-extending accommodating chamber that not only increases its capacity to contain liquid soap, but also facilitates speedy filling or refilling of the liquid soap, significantly reducing the cost of production and the space occupied as well as facilitating speedy assembly and maintenance thereby.
- It is, therefore, the second purpose of the present invention to provide a soap-dispensing faucet structure wherein the faucet matched to a handle is combined with the soap-receiving accommodation space to form a set of integral but separate upper and lower chambers so that the water-discharging or the soap-dispensing can be flexibly operated in individual spaces without hindering each other, efficiently boosting the convenience of application thereby. In addition, a spout and a tube seat with the faucet handle mounted thereto are provided to respectively extend perpendicularly to the faucet body, while the pump device with the sleeve cover is mounted to extend on top of the receiving chamber of the faucet body, providing a unique spatial design with concise and whole depth-extending visual effects as well as achieving a safe and hygienic soap-dispensing faucet structure thereby.

Then, the other ends of the cold andhot water ducts faucet body 10 are respectively coupled with the cold and hotwater inlet pipes 103′, 104′ to form a water influx-and-outflow passage in a water flow circuit. Meanwhile, thecore shaft 20 is fitted into thetube seat 12, and the external-threadedlocking section 31 of thelocking cap 30 is secured to the internal-threadedsection 124 of thetube seat 12, permitting one end of thespindle 21 passing through thecoupling hole 32 thereof to extend outside thelocking cap 30 for an appropriate length.

Then, the outer-threadedlocking portion 63 of thesleeve cover 60 is secured to the inner-threadedportion 102 of thefaucet body 10, permitting thereceiving chamber 101 to combine with thesleeve cover 60 and form an integral and depth-extending accommodation space A that also provides another individual soap-receiving accommodation space A thereby. Thus, cleaning liquid soap required can be filled into the soap-receiving accommodation space A, and thepump tubing 52 of thepump device 50 is mounted into thesleeve cover 60 with theaxle sleeve 521 precisely engaged and stopped therein. Thesuction conduit 522 extending at the end section of thepump tubing 52 is then allowed to accurately extend down into the lower section of the soap-receiving accommodation space A, completing the assembly of a soap-dispensing faucet thereby. - Please refer to
FIG. 4 showing the present invention in the state of application thereof. In application, thepush button 511 disposed on top of thepress head 51 of thepump device 50 is pushed, and, via theflexibly rebound element 524 and the siphon effect thereof, the cleaning liquid soap received in the accommodation space A therein is sucked up through thesuction conduit 522 and transferred to pass through thepump tubing 52, the bifurcatedcoupling tube 512, and the liquid-guidingconduit 53 in a sequence to be transported outwards via thedispensing hole 531 thereof. Furthermore, the soap-receiving accommodation space A is divided from the faucet water-discharging chamber disposed below to form an upper-and-lower separation-type design thereby. Therefore, depending on the requirement of users, thepump device 50 can be separately applied to dispense liquid soap for use, or thefaucet handle 40 be individually switched to open water discharge for application thereof. Otherwise, thepump device 50 can be squeezed to have some liquid soap dispensed first before thefaucet handle 40 extending at the other side of thefaucet body 10 is bent and switched on, permitting the water flow to discharge outwards via thespout 11 for cleaning purpose. Then, after the cleaning thereof, thefaucet handle 40 can be re-bent to switch off the water discharge and complete the cleaning operation thereby. - To fill or refill the cleaning liquid soap thereof, the
pump device 50 is directly pulled and retrieved to open the accommodation space A so that the cleaning liquid can be filled or refilled into the accommodation space A therein. Then, thepump tubing 52 of thepump device 50 is mounted back to thesleeve cover 60 with theaxle sleeve 521 precisely engaged and stopped therein, and thesuction conduit 522 at the end section of thepump tubing 52 accurately extending down into the lower section of the accommodation space A therein, completing the filling or refilling of the liquid soap thereby.
